Hello,

Can anyone recommend a JEE Hosting Service?

I'm a JEE developer who wants to throw some application experimentation stuff up online, but doesn't want to take on the responsibility of server administration and network management.

I'd like to be able to use: - JSF - Spring - Hibernate

And some sort of relational database.

I'm looking mostly for cheap and relatively maintenance free.

Take a look at Amazon.

maintenance-free? Wouldn't you have to set up your own DBMS+web server+servlet container?

A: 

If you can avoid a full blown app server and just stick to a servlet container (Tomcat) then I'd recommend you do so. You'll have a lot bigger choice of hosts. You can still use Hibernate / Spring. I recommend you change the title of your question to Java web app hosting service.

Don't expect the < $10 / month deals you see for PHP hosting. Tomcat is going to require a decent slice of memory (depending on what you are doing).

Thanks for the pointer.I'm afraid I really do want access to a relational database. I don't really care which one, but I want the option be able to try some stuff that uses ORM.Out of curiosity - why "Java web app hosting service" instead of JEE? Not sure I understand the benefit.

I've had good experience deploying a couple Java/Grails apps to Rimu, and their customer support (by email) is very responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful.

I too have had a great experience with rimuhosting.com. ... been using them for about 3 years now.

Excellent service and support.

eatj.com is another nice one. You can create a free account to tryout. If it satisfies, you can upgrade to a pay account. The free account undeploys the webapps every half a hour. The prices are very affordable.
